Crazy Idea: Trade Green for George

[gpap]

No thanks.

I'd prefer basketball players who aren't recovering from a broken leg.

Hmm, the counter to this argument is:

Last year, would you have traded Rondo for George Hill? How about for Mario Chalmers? This is pretty much what a Green-for-George trade is like.

I'm sick from the dumbness. The last couple of celtics-pacers trade proposal are outrageous. It's like people are not even thinking before posting. 

Wonderful contribution and insight. I feel so enlightened now.

Whats not wonderful contribution is these posts that are borderline troll or written by very new fans who still aren't sure how NBA trades work. We should strive for quality posts that even if we disagree with can spark discussion.

Who are you? I didn't realize that I was in the company of some of the great minds of our time.

Our all-star pg, a productive sf replacement in Green, and KO/a first or two is hardly a 'trolling' trade proposal for a guy who just had a very severe leg injury. George is great, but he is also not in the Lebron, Durant, Davis tier. They just lost Lance, West will be on the decline in the next couple of years, and who knows what is going on with Hibbert's head.

I get it, Green for George is obviously highly unrealistic, but if Indy is serious about competing, this kind of trade could help them out quite a bit. Leave your insults at the door, there are a lot of people here who are more educated and more successful than either of you.

"Leave the insults at the door" as you proceed to insult me? Nice. Either way that is a terrible trade idea. A one year rental of Rondo, a bad contract in Green and a middle prospect for a budding superstar who is still under contract and will only be out one year. Get real kid.

I honestly don't understand the condescension. It's actually a really good idea. It would help both teams. ...the problem is - the Pacers don't know what they have in George when he gets back. I think it makes sense for both sides.

The Pacers exchange risk for certainty, and can keep competing with several players who play their way. They needed better point guard play last year - and Rondo is a good defensive player who makes sense with the team they have built.

I also think - as an aside - that this "get real kid" nonsense is just that. ...frankly, if you had a more legitimate argument, you wouldn't need to condescend. It's the realization that he makes a good point that is causing you to belittle him - or that's how it appears to me.

I also do not think he insulted you.

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed that, that the people proposing some ridiculous trades are usually the ones who are relative new to the forum

So obviously we should shame new posters into doing things the right way, rather than offering some constructive critiques.

I'm of the opinion that we should save the barbs (if any) for the longtime posters who should know better, not the people who want to join in on the conversation.

Bird hangs up on this one.

This trade is not that lopsided.  I think Indy would have to think about it.    It surely would keep them in the hunt in the EAST this year.    But I'd  doubt either team would do it.
